Heather inquires about student funding for mature AB students taking one course at a time; responses indicate it’s worth applying.  Amoonah just finished a 3-year degree and wants to continue on to make it a 4-year; other students post tips to help her with next steps and timing.

Other posts include delaying exams, study tips, print versions of etexts, prepping home space for a ProctorU exam, and loads of questions from new students trying to navigate online learning without a map.
